August 13, 2024 — The criminal misadventures of Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass will continue in The Gentlemen Season 2. The series, inspired by the Guy Ritchie movie of the same name, is coming back to Netflix for a deeper look into the criminal underbelly of aristocratic Britain.

The Gentlemen follows Eddie (Theo James), who becomes the new Duke of Halstead following his father’s death. In addition to the new title, Eddie also inherits the family’s sizable country estate — and the illegal weed farm located underneath it, run by the sophisticated yet ruthless Susie (Kaya Scodelario) and her crime boss father Bobby Glass (Ray Winstone). Although hesitant to join the criminal lifestyle at first, he develops a taste for it and finds an unexpected ally in Susie as they face down the UK and Europe’s most notorious and hilarious gangster families. And by the end of the first eight episodes, Eddie solidifies himself as co-owner — along with Susie and Bobby — of the Glass’ massive weed empire.

James, Scodelario, and Daniel Ings — who plays Eddie’s brother Freddy — are confirmed to reprise their roles in the eight-episode second season, and additional casting news will be announced at a later date. Ritchie is returning to direct, and will co-write the series with Matthew Read. Filming is expected to commence next year.

What will happen in Season 2? That’s still up in the air. “It’d be fun to see the business spread a bit more,” Scodelario told Tudum when the show launched. “How do they take it to the next level? They’re very adamant about not getting into the chop game, so how do they then continue to build the empire? Where does that take them? How does the new structure of the business work practically?”

Eddie and Susie are now partners, but how will their relationship evolve as the story moves forward? “I think they’ve grown to love each other in their own way, but I think they’ll never fully trust each other because they are so different and they’re from such vastly different worlds,” James told Tudum. “There’s a love between them, but ultimately they will never be from the same cloth.”

The Gentlemen is produced by Moonage Pictures for Netflix and Miramax Television. Executive producers include Ritchie; Will Gould, Read, and Frith Tiplady for Moonage Pictures; Marc Helwig for Miramax Television; and Ivan Atkinson.
